Hudson The Adventurer

July 2013 Crested Butte, CO

Hudson, the Brave Heart..

This picture says it all. You are a brave young man Hudson.  You jumped off a huge rock into Lake Irwin.  You are physically ahead of most of the five year old boys we know.  You will try a lot.  Please always make smart choices and remember not to worry your Mamma.

I love you my love,  Mamma

Our precious baby boy!  I see JH's face in yours.  

We love you!

Happy First Birthday John Henry!

July 25, 2013

It's a Colorado birthday for our baby! Oh sweet, precious John Henry, I can't believe you are already 1.  It's bittersweet.  It seems like the year flew by.  I remember bringing  you home from the hospital.  So tiny.  I use to sit you in your swinging chair in the TV room . You couldn't move and you would sit next to Hudson while he watched TV.  He wanted you as close as he could get you.  I remember when you first started crawling.  You did the one legged shuffle for the entirety of your crawling days.  It was the most precious move. I remember taking you to the beach when you couldn't move and you just slept the whole time.  Hudson has said "I don't want JH to get older.  He's so cute Mamma!  I want him to stay little.  And such is life.  The first year such a sweet but short period.  I can relate to what Hudson said.  You want your babies to grow but you want them to stay your babies and you all will always be my babies...

You are a funny little guy John Henry.  

A Look Back--A Beautiful Portrait in CB

This beautiful portrait of you was taken in July 2011 in Crested Butte. You were 3 years and 3 months old (of course you look older). You look so handsome - breathtaking. We also used this picture for our 2011 Christmas Card.

I love you bello, guano, handsome,

Mamma
